And as long as we're on a Skype roll here--even though this isn't an "app":

As follow-up, here's some more info on Skype for the Mac:

Skype 5.0 for Mac Exits Beta, Group Calling No Longer Free [VIDEO]

Want to have some facetime with someone without wifi? Skype has a new app out that lets you do just that. Here's a full review.

Of course, there may be times when you want a phone call to rescue you from a boring conversation. That's when fake calls comes in handy. .99 is cheap for that kind of intervention!

Finally, Esver showed us how to print on a Brother printer from our iphone using  iBrother Print&Scan.

One of our favorite columnists, David Pogue at the New York Times, doesn't think much of the new Office for Mac. Read it here: Office for Mac Isn't an Improvement.

Genius Scan is an awesome free app that allows you to use your iphone as a scanner. If you think you're OK with just taking a picture of any document, you'll find out how wrong you are once you start using this. It offers page frame detection, perspective correction, and allows you to send anything you scan as a PDF. It's good for scanning receipts, notes, or any document. Just terrific!!

Actually, of course, it's Google Goggles, which is Google's cute way of saying search by image rather than text. It's now available on the iPhone as part of Google Mobile Apps. (Droid users would have me add the word "finally"--they've had it for about 10 months.)

Once you've downloaded--or updated--your Google Mobile Apps, the next question is how to use Goggles.

You might think it will be listed among the Apps--like GOOG-411--but it's not. Instead, you use Goggles by clicking on the Search button in the lower left corner. There, you'll now see a camera button near the search term field. That's your Goggles.

Before you use it, you'll be able to watch a short video introducing Goggles to you--or, if you can't wait, you can watch it right now.

Here's a nice summary of the ways OS 4.1 improves on 4.0.
